The dengue virus capsid protein accumulates progressively around cellular organelles named lipid droplets ( LDs ) during infection. Using different methods of intervention, we defined that capsid transport from virally modified endoplasmic reticulum ( ER ) membranes to LDs requires a functional GBF1 protein. The process was found to be COPI dependent, while it was independent of both COPII components and Golgi integrity, supporting a non‐canonical function of GBF1 / ARF / COPI transport system.
